Film Superlist shows "I Was a Communist for the FBI" (1951) renewed as RE12191. Do you have reason to believe that this is an invalid renewal?

Billbarstad checked that for me and told me it was no renewal. I was just going by what he had checked on the copyright.gov page.

Looks like it's been renewed, but with the "F. B. I." spelling used instead of "FBI". The renewal shows up if you just search on http://cocatalog.loc.gov for "I was a communist" instead of the whole title.
Here's the renewal record.
